- Focus for 2024 – “Richmond VA Tech’s Most Creative City”
- In Richmond, creativity isn’t just a buzzword; it’s ingrained in our community of problem-solvers, thinkers, and doers. Here at rvatech/, we’ve cultivated a collaborative spirit that sets us apart from other tech cities. Our community is the heartbeat of Richmond’s vibrant atmosphere of ideas, connections, and aspirations. “Tech’s Most Creative City” – A bold proclamation, isn’t it? I believe it’s not just a statement; it’s our next chapter waiting to be written.
- The concept of “Tech’s Most Creative City” is set to make a significant impact on how we present ourselves to the world through:
- A revitalized brand that reflects the vibrancy, innovation, and creativity that define Richmond’s tech landscape
- Creative elements in our conferences that make each experience memorable and inspiring
